How is forcing you to work 50 hours for my benefit not slavery?

"Taxes are the price we pay for civilization."

It was said before, but if you dont like taxes then feel free to leave human society.

Why do socialists always group paying taxes, and spending the money as one thing? I never said I didn’t want to pay taxes.

What they are collected for matters.

Well then we agree, I don't want any of my taxes going to paying for the military or the detention centers, or any of the paychecks of republicans, I too feel that my taxes should only go to certain things, so you can pay forwhat you want to pay, and i'll pay for what I want to pay

You miss the point.

Let’s say I wanted into McDonalds, and the guy in front of me ordered a #1 and was charged $4.00. I then order the #1 and am charged $5.00. I ask why, and they said "well, it really cost $4.50 to make it and turn a profit, but you looked better off than the guy in front of you, so I charged you for some of his food."

ManusJustus’s argument is the same as if I said “I don’t want to pay that” as meaning “I want my food for free”.

I expect to pay taxes, and to pay for a system of government. I even expect to pay more to protect the poor.

I will never be happy with being forced to pay to take care of the poor. Taking care of them is there job, or something I should be allowed to give my money to help.

It being forced upon me is indenturing me. We can talk until we are blue in the face, but it won’t change that fact.

Ok, I will never be happy paying for an F-22 Raptor to protect you, I can protect myself, why should I be forced to pay to protect others, it is being forced upon me, see it works in many ways
